Lots in the paper this week about skaters in Folkestone, should they be allowed to skate on The Lees, are they noisy and unpleasant, is hanging too good for them etc. Here are some videos anyway.
Good skaters:

Bad skaters:
OK, they're not actually skaters in the second video, but it's young people on wheels making a noise, possibly the older citizens who live along The Lees have mistaken these rattling contraptions for a type of skate board, and it's this that's giving the skaters a bad name?
This is my site The FG that I set up in a fury of excitement when I first came here sometime in '04. I had been a frequent visitor for a while previous to that so I am technically one of those DFLs you get now. This site was updated more frequently with a gig calendar + voting for favourite places + things, + I hear it was a useful resource for others who were moving to the area. Now I've moved out of Folkestone again (though just a couple of miles) it doesn't get as much love as it used to. Ironic really as The town is now becoming the exciting place we knew it was just about to. My name is not Gerald by the way, the name comes from the name of a pretend paper in an episode of The Day Today or something, the Portsmouth Gerald, and how there is a local paper here called the Folkestone Herald. Puns like this are great aren't they? Do get in touch if you have anything to offer, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on the twitter.
